Chapter 32 That Day, was Sheng Yun Shen's day...?
Not long after Ling Shu returned to the Sheng family and settled Sheng Yun Shen in, she heard the news that the Su family had rushed over and surrounded the gates of the Sheng family manor.
Of course, the Sheng family didn't let the Su family in at all.
Sheng Zhujun had an important business meeting today and couldn't join Ling Shu at the Su family's house for the fun. Now that she heard the Su family was here, she rushed over to find Ling Shu to gossip together.
Sheng Zhujun was wearing a fitted suit, and the gold-rimmed glasses on her face could not hide the murderous intent in her eyes.
She crossed her arms and leaned against the door, her tone filled with a gnashing satisfaction.
"Madam Su was crying her eyes out, completely abandoning all pretense of decorum, and was rolling around on the ground. The old man from the Su family, on the other hand, pretended to be quite calm, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even light a cigarette, and he looked like he had aged ten years in an instant."
"Only Su Yao acted as if it was none of his business, sitting alone playing games and completely ignoring his parents."
She didn't just say things randomly.
To vent her anger, Sheng Zhujun went to the manor gate just now and even secretly took a few videos to keep as a memento later.
"Don't worry, my brother and sister-in-law's phones are switched off. No matter how much trouble the Su family causes today, they won't be able to get any attention."
Ling Shu lowered her eyes and focused on wiping Sheng Yun Shen's palms.
Compared to the farce in the Su family, the cheap husband in front of her is more worthy of attention.
Sheng Zhujun shifted her body, changing her posture, and asked Ling Shu's opinion: "Shushu, we can't just let them keep making a scene like this, can we? Or should I call the police?"
Ling Shu looked up: "How about I go to the entrance?"
My hands are itching today; I feel like I haven't hit enough people yet.
We can hit three more.
"this……"
Sheng Zhujun hesitated for a moment, "Hitting them would just dirty your hands. Why don't you call the police instead?"
The Su family members are like annoying leeches; it's best not to touch them to avoid being clung to.
Ling Shu nodded indifferently: "Okay, you handle it. I'll take your brother to bed first."
Ling Shu paused, tilting her head thoughtfully: "Hmm?"
W-what, sleeping together?!
Is this something you can just say casually?
In the few seconds that Ling Shu was thinking, Sheng Yunshen felt as if his thoughts had become a tangled mess, with all sorts of chaotic ideas popping up and almost filling his entire mind.
Until Ling Shu's teasing voice rang out, it was as if a one-click cleanup program had been activated, instantly clearing all the chaotic thoughts from his mind. In the world, only her voice was exceptionally clear.
"That's not a bad idea. It's been cold lately, and it can be a bit chilly to sleep alone."
She kept her word and turned to leave.
She had only taken two steps when Sheng Zhujun suddenly remembered something. She turned around, a mischievous grin on her face, and said, "The mattress in Second Brother's room is custom-made. It cost millions. Shushu, you really should get a good sleep there. It's absolutely amazing."
Sheng Yun Shen, who was already in a daze, became even more numb.
What, what kind of mattress?
Wait, is this about the mattress?!
No, Ling Shu was probably joking just now.
Who would want to share a bed with someone in a vegetative state?
Sheng Yunshen struggled to think.
The sound of a door closing came from not far away; it must have been Sheng Zhujun who left.
The room fell silent, and Ling Shu remained silent, focusing intently on wiping his arm.
In the darkness, every sensation on his arm was exceptionally clear and intense. He could feel every bit of her strength, even her warm breath as she drew near, like the lightest feather gently brushing against his fingers, sending shivers of electricity through him, making even the depths of his soul tremble.
Sheng Yun Shen struggled to control himself, using almost all his strength to maintain his composure.
After a few seconds, he finally regained some consciousness.
Ling Shu suddenly muttered something to herself.
"Hmm, a mattress worth millions is definitely worth experiencing."
Like water dripping into boiling oil, Sheng Yunshen felt a "boom" in his mind, and all the rationality he had tried to maintain was burned away in that instant.
He seemed to be split in two, one half floating in a sea of desires, the other half hanging high in the sky, observing and analyzing with a clear mind.
Watching myself fall with clear awareness.
Watching myself fall into despair with a clear mind.
Looking at myself clearly... with longing.
I want to open my eyes and see her smiling face, I want to respond to her jokes in person, I want to stand side by side with her, I want to hold her in my arms.
...He wanted her.
I'm going crazy thinking about it.
Sheng Yunshen has always been very patient.
There will always be opportunities once he recovers.
However, he also wants to seize this opportunity.
With his mind racing, Sheng Yunshen, his voice hoarse, instinctively said, "Host, that mattress..."
Just as they started talking, there was another knock on the door.
Sheng Yun Shen's words came to an abrupt end.
Ling Shu stopped wiping, stood up, and looked towards the door: "Who is it?"
Sheng Yunqi's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Shu, it's me... and Ruomeng."
"Um?"
Ling Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
She thought her older brother and sister-in-law had already gone to bed.
After all that they went through at the Su family today, the two of them must be exhausted.
Without asking any further questions, she went over and opened the door.
As expected, Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng were standing outside the door.
Sheng Yunqi looked haggard as he supported Su Ruomeng beside him. Su Ruomeng leaned against his arm, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.
Upon seeing Ling Shu, Su Ruomeng forced a smile, saying, "Sorry, it's so late, I'm sorry to bother you."
Ling Shu stepped aside: "Come in and sit down."
Sheng Yunqi helped Su Ruomeng to the sofa and sat down. Ling Shu followed behind them and asked with concern, "Brother and sister-in-law, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Su Ruomeng raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, her voice tinged with sorrow: "I...can't sleep."
Sheng Yunqi didn't speak, but the worry on his face said it all. Seeing Su Ruomeng like this, he naturally couldn't sleep well either.
Ling Shu blinked.
Su Ruomeng couldn't sleep. Could it be because of the Su family members causing trouble at the entrance of the Sheng family manor?
She opened her mouth, but before she could ask, Su Ruomeng shook her head and denied it, as if she knew what she was thinking: "Xiaoshu, I'm sober now. No matter how much my parents make a fuss, I won't give in."
As she answered, Su Ruomeng reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with determination.
"My children are the most important family members to me now."
Ling Shu nodded in agreement.
Sheng Yunqi's gaze was gentle, and he carefully placed his hand on Su Ruomeng's lower abdomen.
Sheng Yunqi's gaze shifted to Sheng Yunshen beside Ling Shu, and his tone paused slightly, becoming somewhat heavy.
"...I want to apologize to Yun Shen in person."
Ling Shu raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Are they here to apologize?
Wait a minute, this scene seems a little familiar?
Sheng Yun Shen, who had been listening quietly, was also taken aback.
Sheng Yunqi sighed, a look of reminiscence on his face, heavy with guilt and regret: "The day Yun Shen had the car accident... before he left the Sheng family, I had a fight with him, and we weren't very happy."
Ling Shu's smile faded slightly, her gaze like a clear, cold lake reflecting Sheng Yunqi's guilt.
Sheng Yunqi lowered his eyes to look at the floor, seemingly unable to look her in the eye.
He said with difficulty, "Actually... Bai Yue started contacting me half a year ago."
It started with emails.
For Sheng Yunqi, Bai Yue was a childhood playmate who suddenly left without saying goodbye several years ago and they have never been in contact since.
He was a gentle and nostalgic person. When he received Bai Yue's email for the first time, he was only happy and had no sense of suspicion.
He replied to Bai Yue's email.
For several months, the two maintained an email exchange every few days. It wasn't exactly a close relationship, but it wasn't cold either. They chatted casually about various topics, sometimes about childhood anecdotes, and sometimes about the weather in other countries.
Sheng Yunqi felt it was nothing, just a few emails, and he believed he had a clear conscience.
Until that day, Sheng Yunshen asked him to meet alone and even printed out all the emails and placed them in front of him.
Sheng Yun Shen's tone was as calm and rational as ever, every word seemingly striking his soul: "Brother, if you truly have a clear conscience, would you dare to show these things to your sister-in-law?"
Sheng Yunqi was dumbfounded and felt guilty.
He dared not.
"...You know your sister-in-law's personality. If you show her these things, she'll definitely overthink it."
Sheng Yun Shen's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in them: "Brother, since you knew your wife would overthink it, why did you do it?"
His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, a meaningful glint in his eyes. "Brother, stop. Don't reply to Bai Yue anymore. Pay more attention to your sister-in-law."
Looking back now, Sheng Yunqi could sense Sheng Yunshen's unspoken words.
It seemed as if there was something very important that couldn't be said directly, so he could only try to hint at it with words.
Sheng Yun Shen probably learned about Su Ruomeng's pregnancy indirectly from the doctor, but out of respect for Su Ruomeng, he did not intend to leak the news on his own initiative. Instead, he protected Su Ruomeng and the marriage between Sheng Yun Qi and Su Ruomeng in his own way.
Unfortunately, Sheng Yunqi didn't appreciate it at the time. Instead, he became angry and stood up abruptly.
"No matter what, I have a clear conscience! Yun Shen, you've never been in a relationship, so you naturally wouldn't understand. I've been devoted to your sister-in-law and have never considered any other woman! Besides, by prying into my privacy like this, do you even consider me your brother?!"
The conversation ended unhappily.
Sheng Yunqi stormed off in a huff, not glancing back at his younger brother. However, he didn't take it to heart, assuming it was just an ordinary argument.
Once they've calmed down, everything will return to normal.
However, what followed was the news that Sheng Yunshen had been in a car accident.
While waiting outside Sheng Yunshen's ward, Sheng Yunqi was in a daze.
He couldn't believe that this argument and accusations might be the last words he and Sheng Yun Shen spoke.
Recalling these events, tears welled up in Sheng Yunqi's eyes.
He was filled with remorse: "I'm so sorry to Yun Shen. After his accident, I didn't even dare to come see him..."
Ling Shu's fingers curled slightly.
This sentence sounds familiar.
She remembered.
It was Sheng Zhujun.
After the scumbag Jian Yicheng's actions were fully exposed, Sheng Zhujun also came to Sheng Yunshen's side in the same way, saying similar things with tears in her eyes, expressing her infinite guilt towards Sheng Yunshen.
Ling Shu looked at Sheng Yun Shen, her brows furrowed tightly.
On the day of his car accident, the people he argued with were not only Sheng Zhujun, but also Sheng Yunqi.
No.
etc.
Ling Shu glanced at Su Ruomeng, who also looked somber, and her heart sank slightly.
Maybe... and even more.
She asked, "Sister-in-law, that day, were you also...?"
Su Ruomeng let out a soft sob, covered her mouth with immense guilt, and nodded with difficulty.
"yes."
On the day Sheng Yunshen had his car accident, she was also called over by him for a private talk.
However, the conversation had nothing to do with Sheng Yunqi and Bai Yue, but was directed at her good-for-nothing younger brother, Su Yao.
“Sister-in-law, I understand your concern for your brother. However, Su Yao is really not suitable to work at Shengshi Group.”
Sheng Yun Shen stood with his back to her, gazing out the window, his expression unreadable.
All that could be heard was his rational, almost cold, voice.
"Please tell the Su family that as long as I am alive, I will not allow Su Yao to enter Shengshi Group."
Looking back now, Sheng Yun Shen probably knew about her pregnancy and saw through the vampire nature of the Su family. He wanted to be the "bad guy" and sever ties between Su Ruomeng and the Su family.
Sheng Yun Shen was helping her in his own way.
Unfortunately, Su Ruomeng couldn't understand at the time and only felt embarrassed and ashamed.
She was gentle and couldn't say anything harsh, but she stood up and questioned, "Yun Shen, in your heart, have you never considered me family?"
Because they don't accept her, they don't accept Su Yao or the Su family.
Sheng Yun Shen stood with his back to her, silent.
She took it as a tacit agreement and turned away, disheartened.
Naturally, no one noticed that his back view actually revealed an indescribable sense of loneliness.
...Perhaps, Sheng Yun Shen, who has never revealed his inner emotions, simply doesn't know how to answer this kind of question.
Recalling that scene, Su Ruomeng felt heartbroken.
She wiped away her tears and whispered, "Yun Shen... I'm sorry to him too."
Ling Shu sighed softly.
I never expected the plot to be so melodramatic.
On the day of the car accident, Sheng Yun Shen had a series of arguments with his family. He must have been feeling terrible.
Being a vegetable is fine too, being unaware and without feeling, and no longer suffering.
She walked over and gently patted the shoulders of Sheng Yunqi and his wife.
Ling Shu's tone was very solemn: "Big brother, sister-in-law, in his heart, you are both the most important family members. He cares about you and cherishes you, and he certainly doesn't want to see you sad and blaming yourselves."
"It's enough that you're doing well."
"besides……"
Ling Shu paused, tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something.
After a moment, she lowered her eyes and added softly, "Big brother, Yun Shen didn't check your privacy. Those emails were sent to him by an anonymous account."
It's highly likely that someone behind Bai Yue deliberately sent these emails to Sheng Yun Shen in an attempt to sow discord between the brothers.
This information was just given to her by the dog system.
Otherwise, even Ling Shu wouldn't know.
Sheng Yunqi opened his mouth wide, remained silent for two seconds, and the tears in his eyes became even more glistening.
The last thorn between the brothers was thus eliminated.
He sighed with relief, his voice choked with emotion.
"Yun Shen... my dear brother, it's all my fault."
Su Ruomeng patted his back, her face full of gentle encouragement.
“Yunqi, Xiaoshu is right. Now is not the time to wallow in self-blame.”
Her tone was resolute, "From now on, we'll spend more time with Yun Shen, and we'll make sure... he never feels lonely again."
No amount of guilt should be a reason to run away.
In the future, they will prove everything with their actions.
Sheng Yunqi nodded in agreement.
Ling Shu smiled and winked at them.
"Brother and sister-in-law, whatever misunderstanding there is, it's good to talk it out. It's getting late, Yun Shen and I need to rest, you should go back early too."
"Don't blame yourselves too much. I think Yun Shen also bears some responsibility. He's good in every way, except he's too talkative. If it were me, I wouldn't hold back anything. I would clear up any misunderstandings on the spot and never let them linger overnight."
Sheng Yunqi was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"
Hmm, this seems to make some sense?
Su Ruomeng's focus was on: "Wait, a break? You all together?"
Women are indeed more sensitive to gossip.
Ling Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes, together."
As she spoke, she naturally took Sheng Yun Shen's hand.
Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng: "!"
I understand, it certainly came at the worst possible time.
Anyway, the knot in my heart has been untied, so we can talk about anything else tomorrow.
The two, as if on the same wavelength, stood up simultaneously and spoke in unison.
"Then we're leaving!"
After saying that, the two walked out quickly, their feet barely touching the ground, as if something was chasing them.
Before he could finish speaking, the couple had already run out the door and thoughtfully closed it behind them.
The room fell silent again, leaving only Ling Shu and Sheng Yun Shen.
Ling Shu was quiet for a few seconds, then tilted her head thoughtfully.
When she first arrived at the Sheng family, she noticed that the Sheng family members seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding and rarely set foot in Sheng Yun Shen's ward.
At the time, she didn't think much of it, assuming they were just too grief-stricken to accept reality.
The truth is really quite dramatic.
No, perhaps it's even more melodramatic?
Her mind raced, and she called Butler Wang.
"Uncle Wang, can I ask you for a favor?"
As she spoke, Ling Shu gently squeezed Sheng Yun Shen's hand, the pressure light, as if to soothe him.
"...I want to know who Yun Shen met on the day of the car accident."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Shu waited in silence, unconsciously rubbing Sheng Yun Shen's palm.
The answer was exactly what Ling Shu had predicted.
That day, Sheng Yun Shen met with almost all of his family members.
Sheng Zhujun, Sheng Yunqi, Su Ruomeng, Qin Hong...
According to the servants who were waiting outside at the time, each family member was met individually, the conversations were brief, and when they left, their expressions seemed...not very good.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Shu closed her eyes, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought."
The author of this book really did arrange a very cruel day for Sheng Yun Shen.
She couldn't help but discuss with the dog system in her mind: "Dog, do you think Sheng Yun Shen had a terrible day?"
Sheng Yun Shen was slightly taken aback. He took a few seconds to suppress a bitter smile and answered as calmly as possible, "...Yes."
That's terrible.
The ensuing arguments, misunderstandings, and anger came to an abrupt end with a loud crash.
This brought his "glorious life" of the previous twenty-five years to a severe halt.
When Sheng Yun Shen finally woke up from his coma and realized what had happened, he truly wished that this broken world could be destroyed immediately.
Ling Shu sighed softly, "If he still had feelings, he would definitely feel very sad. Fortunately, people in a vegetative state are unconscious and know nothing."
Sheng Yun Shen remained silent for two seconds.
Ling Shu felt sorry for him.
As the head of the Sheng family, standing alone at the highest point and enduring the most storms, Sheng Yun Shen originally thought that he didn't need to feel sorry for such weak and useless emotions.
But Ling Shu...
It feels so good to be cared for by Ling Shu.
The slight melancholy stirred by those past events slowly dissipated in her silent resignation.
As long as she cares about you, even if the world collapses, you can't help but want to forgive it.
He said softly, "Host, even if he knows everything, he won't be sad."
Ling Shu shook her head: "You're not him, how would you know he wouldn't be sad?"
Sheng Yun Shen: "..."
I dare not speak, for fear of letting something slip.
After a while, Ling Shu let out a long breath and stood up.
"Dog, come on, let's continue talking about the mattress."
Sheng Yun Shen was taken aback: "Huh?"
What kind of mattress?
Ling Shu: "Before you came in, weren't you just about to talk to me about the mattress in my cheap husband's room?"
Sheng Yunshen remembered.
He inexplicably felt his face flush: "Um...yes. That mattress..."
Trying to keep her tone calm, she said, "It was specially ordered from overseas, and it's supposed to be zero-pressure, and it really does feel great to sleep on..."
As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of nervousness.
Because his body sensed it, Ling Shu suddenly raised her hand and stroked his cheek.
The slightly sensitive topics made his senses even more acute.
Wherever Ling Shu's fingers touched, it seemed to be ignited by flames, radiating a scorching temperature.
Sheng Yun Shen wondered, somewhat dazed, if his face had already turned red?
What if Ling Shu notices something is wrong...
Fortunately, it was already late at night, the room was dimly lit, and he happened to be backlit.
Ling Shu didn't notice the change in his expression and happily decided, "Okay, then it's decided that way. Tonight, I'll sleep with my cheap husband!"
